Why the Global Safety Index Matters
The Global Safety Index serves as a crucial tool for assessing crime trends worldwide. Governments, businesses, and travelers rely on such data to make informed decisions regarding tourism, investment, and relocation. Countries with higher safety rankings often attract foreign investments, increased tourism, and business opportunities, contributing to overall economic stability.
Pakistan’s improved position over India in the 2025 rankings is a positive sign, reflecting progress in law enforcement and crime control. However, continued efforts are necessary to further strengthen security and enhance public safety in the region.
